Service project for the Tijeras Creek Watershed Collaborative

The Center for Community Geography is collaborating with the Tijeras Creek Watershed Collaborative on a mapping project, Center Project Assistant Desiree Loggins drafted a proposal for the Collaborative that will support the development of a mapping tool that will detail historical, present, and future conservation projects on the degraded Tijeras Creek Watershed. Building off an existing ArcGIS online map developed by Bernalillo County Open Space, this mapping tool will help prioritize new projects, demonstrate change over time, and facilitate stronger collaboration on an action plan to for the New Mexico Environment Department.

Project priorities are:

• Archiving past and present projects of the Tijeras Creek Watershed Collaborative.
• Creating an accessible mapping tool that enables watershed conservation collaboration amongst multiple entities.
